The currents are wrong. Beneath the frozen seas of Frostmirror, Glacierkin scout Ardyn Vayel is sent to investigate impossible warm-water flows invading northern waters. Instead, he finds Kael Vareth-an exiled hunter from the volcanic reefs who has been tracking the same unnatural disturbances across the ocean. Elsewhere, the siren healer Lyrianne Valei begins hearing terrifying silences within the world's sacred Song-places where life itself no longer resonates as it should. As ancient leviathans stir and forgotten sanctums awaken beneath the tides, the three are drawn into a mystery far older than any of them realize. Because the sea remembers. And somewhere in the deep, something has begun to wake. 🌊 Epic Fantasy 🐋 Living Oceans 🎶 Ancient Songs & Buried Truths 🫧 Mythic Sea Creatures ✨ Found Family & Political Intrigue 🌑 A World Slowly Falling Out of Harmony

In the ancient Dawn Era, Naruto is born with mysterious chakra that draws the attention of beasts, nature, and eventually Hagoromo. He befriends a young Kurama, forming the first human-Tailed Beast bond. Brought to train with Indra and Asura, Naruto becomes the emotional balance between them. A warlord using corrupted chakra threatens the land, leading Naruto and the brothers into their first great battles. Indra grows jealous, turns to forbidden power, and eventually breaks away. Naruto and Asura confront him, and Naruto briefly softens the curse of hatred through Ninshū. Hagoromo names Naruto the Child of Dawn, the one who changed fate before shinobi existed. Naruto returns home with Kurama, becoming the spiritual ancestor of all future shinobi.

Two loves changed the course of history-and then stepped aside. Decades later, the world they shaped is beginning to strain. Sela, raised far from the sea yet never free of its pull, has lived her life listening-to currents, to silences, to the spaces her family never spoke about. Eryx, heir to laws forged in survival, understands the sea not as wonder, but as responsibility-something dangerous if left unmanaged. When fractured underwater kingdoms begin to fail, their descendants are drawn toward the truth their grandparents paid for: separation was necessary, love was temporary, and legacy was never meant to be resolved by one generation alone. Reunion is possible. So is refusal. But if the sea is to open again, it will demand more than blood. A Tidelines Story: Confluence is a legacy novel about recognition over romance, repair without erasure, and the cost of choosing belonging when history refuses to be undone. They weren't wrong. They were early. Setting: California (Sela), Florida (Eryx) Era: 1919, 1922, & 1967

For centuries, the people of Ashfallow have sacrificed four souls each winter to the mountain that keeps them alive. When the ancient creature demanding the offerings suddenly disappears, the village's oldest certainty collapses overnight. Asa, the Stairwarden who has spent her life delivering the tithe, must uncover what killed the mountain before whatever replaced it reaches Ashfallow.

Book Two of the Tideborne Saga - A Tideborne Prequel Before the events of Whispers of the Tide, before Chrissy ever questioned the ocean's pull, a love story unfolded that shaped the fate of generations. Sephria, a mermaid who dared to break the ocean's laws. James Whitaker, a lighthouse keeper who heard the sea speak in warnings and promises. Together, they ignited the prophecy that now stirs in the present. Told decades before Chrissy's story begins, this book reveals the secrets the ocean kept hidden-the alliances fractured, the sacrifices made, and the love powerful enough to alter the tide of destiny. As artifacts awaken and ancient forces rise in Book 1, the truth lies here... in the past the sea refused to forget. Some legacies begin with a kiss. Others with a disappearance. And some stories were never meant to stay buried.

In a fractured world where memory is both weapon and salvation, ancient glyphs pulse beneath the surface-silent witnesses to histories long buried, truths too painful to bear, and futures yet unwritten. At the heart of this unfolding storm stands Arel, a guardian bound by an unyielding code: to keep memory honest, even if the world around him burns. But the balance is shattered when two children, bound by blood and a mysterious resonance, begin to unravel the very fabric of the glyph. One seeks to heal wounds of the past, restoring lost songs and silenced rituals; the other wields memory as a tool to reshape reality and enforce survival. Caught between them is Daran-once a brother-in-ideology to Arel, now a man broken and desperate. Haunted by ideals that have twisted into ruin, Daran strives to forge a peace written in ash, even as it costs him everything. Ancient powers stir, old cults resurface, and the glyph-once a passive mirror-fractures into a force that chooses, divides, and reshapes fate itself. Across vast deserts, shadowed sanctuaries, and war-torn lands, memory and belief spiral into conflict, forcing every character and culture to reckon with what must be preserved, forgotten, or rewritten. From tribes who dream in glyphs to ruthless empires poised on the edge of civil unrest, Veins of the Ancients is a mythic tale of loss, identity, and the agonizing price of remembrance. As alliances fracture and the Influence Wars ignite, the stories we cling to become battlegrounds, and the future hangs in balance. Themes: The fragile nature of memory and truth The clash between preservation and rewriting The cost of peace, sacrifice, and ideological conviction The power of cultural identity and legacy The tension between myth and history Tone & Style: A lyrical and emotionally resonant journey blending haunting myth with intimate struggles, set against a richly woven world alive with cultural lore and mystical resonance. New chapters each week.

# Book 1 In a realm where kingdoms rise on dharma and vows are spoken before fire and fate, two marriages are woven into destiny's design. One love is devotion. Quiet, steadfast, and reverent. It blooms in shared silences, in trust unspoken, in the gentle knowing that duty and love need not stand opposed. The other love is fire. Unrestrained and defiant. Born of challenge, sharpened by will, burning with a longing that refuses to be tamed. Beneath towering palaces and ancient skies, four hearts learn that love is not merely desire- it is choice, restraint, sacrifice, and surrender. Because in this world, love is sacred. It is bound by vows older than memory, tested by responsibility, and sanctified by the courage to stand beside another through every trial fate demands. When destinies entwine, passion must learn reverence, and devotion must learn longing. And once fate binds two souls, it does not ask gently- it asks for everything

The Ashen Loom tells of Seryphos, the Primordial God of Unraveling, born from the first silence. Feared by other deities for his power to undo creation, he dwells alone in the Veil of Ash, answering the forgotten prayers of mortals. When a child asks why he unravels existence, Seryphos reveals that endings are gifts, not destruction. Worshiped in secret as a bringer of release, his final act will be to unmake even himself-returning all things to perfect Nothingness.

One soul. Eighteen lives. And in each one, someone is destined to love him-or destroy him. Reborn again and again across centuries of war, a cursed spirit awakens each time with no memory-only fire burning beneath his skin. This isn't reincarnation. It's a sentence. And his name in this life... is Izel. Born under an eclipse in a city of blood and sacrifice, Izel carries a glyph that marks him for greatness-or apocalypse. The gods whisper of war, of prophecy, of a blade that must be drawn. But they didn't expect her. Citlalli has seen his future. In it, he burns the world. She was trained to stop him. To kill him before the glyph consumes his soul. But there's one problem-she's already in love with him. And if she hesitates, the gods will fall. If she obeys, she'll lose the only soul she's ever known-again and again. A dark romance of forbidden love, divine betrayal, and a fire that refuses to die.

Megan is spiraling. To save her reputation, her grades, and the guy she might lose forever, she has only one option: she must find who took the bottle and steal it back. She needs to move fast, before the thief uses their own wishes and destroys her chance with Jake forever. But is the culprit a stranger, or worse, one of her own friends?

A world in the beginning stages of entropy. A conquis-the spiritual median and retainer of a dragon, and a martial lordling set out in hopes of sparking new life in the world. - Unfinished, feedback appreciated.

In the mountain-carved colosseum of the Aegis Sanctum, four young contenders step into a proving ground where strength is measured without mercy. Jack commands the wind with reckless confidence, Michael towers as an earth-armored giant, and Aeris Thalwen hovers above the stone, her spirit energy shimmering like fragile light. But when Akarion Thar'Kael enters-calm, centered, and impossibly composed-the arena itself seems to adjust to him. What follows is not merely a battle of power, but a revelation of mastery, as brute force and speed collapse against perfect alignment and restraint. One by one, the challengers fall-not to overwhelming violence, but to precision and control. In the end, only Aeris remains, pushing past exhaustion to stand against a force that does not rage, but measures. This is a story about the difference between having power... and truly mastering it.

(Paused to finish Prime Suspect: Vampire) She notices what she shouldn't. He notices her anyways. In a quiet coastal village left off most maps, Kage has learned how to live between glances. She bakes bread before dawn, helps run a market stall by midday, and leaves offerings to the Old Gods out of habit rather than belief. She knows the world is larger than mortals are meant to understand, but like everyone else, she has learned that keeping your head down is safer than asking questions. Then the dreams begin. Strange, vivid dreams that leave her restless. Flickers of light she cannot explain. Moments that make her wonder if she is imagining things, or finally noticing what has always been there. When Kage is summoned to a neutral institute watched by powerful forces, she finds herself surrounded by heirs, warriors, and figures who seem certain of what they are meant to become. She is not. Among them is Kaleen, an heir of the sea who keeps his distance and watches her with open distrust. He is disciplined, guarded, and clearly aware of rules she does not yet understand. Where others dismiss her, he notices. Where she questions, he withdraws. Their interactions are restrained, uneasy, shaped by tension rather than trust. But proximity has a way of eroding certainty. As old powers stir and the balance of the world begins to strain, Kage must decide who she is willing to become, and whether the shadows she carries exist to hide her... or to protect something far more dangerous than she ever imagined. © Anne Starks.

Amidst the tumult of war, Kael discovers a connection with a fierce and enigmatic warrior who challenges his beliefs about love and sacrifice. Together, they must navigate the treacherous landscape of loyalty and betrayal while battling against the storms that rage both outside and within. Wings of Fate is a thrilling tale of adventure, romance, and self-discovery, where every choice shapes the destiny of the world. Will Kael rise to become the hero his people need, or will he be consumed by the very power he wields?

Hell has eight layers that function. And one that finishes. Born without consent and shaped into necessity, Asmodeus is the Ninth Hell-the final boundary where everything stops. Cold, precise, and dangerously quiet, his realm exists to deny what should never continue. He has always believed this is normal. It isn't. As Asmodeus wanders beyond his domain for the first time, he begins to realize that Hell is not built the same way everywhere-and neither is he. Silence that watches. Growth that doesn't end. A realm that holds instead of concludes. And somewhere between the place where things pause and the place where they consume, the King of Finality lingers longer than intended. Where Things End is a mythic, slow-burn fantasy about duty, restraint, and the terrifying discovery that even the end may want to rest.
